Kyoung eun Kang: Every Morning, Every Evening
December 13, 2022-February 2, 2023
This exhibition explores the strong maternal bond between the New York based artist, Kyoung eun Kang and her mother in South Korea. The installation at center shows video clips of her mother’s birthday rituals for family members, embedded in a traditional Korean dining table. Also on view are selected works from two photographic series: Every Morning, Every Evening, which layer images and texts from Kang and her mother’s daily communications; and Body Play photographs showing their hands and feet together when they reunited after the pandemic. One sculptural work from the care package series hangs on the rear wall. Kang interweaves multidisciplinary methods to deal with themes of love, affection and familial intimacy. Her work traverses political and geographical borders to capture parallel lives, rituals, and emotions.
